Do you read??? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LoveMyJake · 08-16-2007, 01:35 PM

I love to read, but I never seem to have the time. I really don't know what my favorite book is, there are so many. Right now, I'm reading "The Husband" by Dean Koontz. It's really good so far!

"Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry.

Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other's sentences and even when they fought, they laughed. No one could imagine Holly and Gerry without each other.

Until the unthinkable happens. Gerry's death devastates Holly. But as her 30th birthday looms, Gerry comes back to her. He's left her a bundle of notes, gently guiding Holly into her new life without him, each note signed "P.S. I Love You."

As the notes are gradually opened, and as the year unfolds, Holly is both cheered up and challenged. The man who knows her better than anyone sets out to teach her that life goes on. With some help from her friends, and her noisy and loving family, Holly finds herself laughing, crying, singing, dancing - and being braver than ever before.

Life is for living, she realises - but it always helps if there's an angel watching over you."

It is SUCH a good book. I laughed, cried, and everything in between.

I just got finished reading 3 Philippa Gregory books. The other Bolyen Girl, The Constant Princess and the Virgin Queen. I didnt care much for the Virgin Queen but I LOVED the other 2.

I am starting the Memory Keepers Daughter and I have My sisters keeper waiting in the wings.

I LOVE a triology of Books from Fern Michaels called Vegas Rich, Vegas Heat and Vegas Sunrise. EXCELLENT summer light reading. They are very good books. More romance type novels though (sorry guys)

Also The BEST novel I EVER read is called HOT SHOTS by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. GREAT GREAT book!!!

Anything by Nora Roberts or JD Robb (same person) and anything by Dean Koontz I love to read.

If you love psychological thrillers read False Memory by Dean Koontz! Oh the book was soooo creepy! I couldn't put it down for a second!!! AWESOME book!!!

I'm currently reading "Bridget Jones's Voice of Reason" and it's pretty funny!

I also just read "The Red Tent" and LOVED it!

My next one will be "Marley and Me" so please don't spoil it, those of you that have read it!

roxieg · 08-16-2007, 05:10 PM

i love to read! i recently got on a funny/memoir kick & really enjoyed the following--i know everyone has their own unique tastes but i'll throw these out!:
1. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim--by David Sedaris
2. I love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl-- by Laurie Notaro--(i was laughing out loud)
3. Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants: Based on a True Story- by Jill Soloway--another hilarious one to me!
4. Dry- by Augusten Burroughs
5. Fat Girl: A True Story--by Judith Moore

6. lastly-- a recent purchase (which i plan to start tomorrow)---"Bitter is the New Black--Confessions of a Condescending, Egomanical, self-centered, Smart-ass, or Why You should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office"--- Jen Lancaster (and yes that is really the whole title!)

i hope someone enjoys one of these suggestions!
thanks!

Yes, i read that one too. I liked the others better though, wasnt too fond of dear johns ending.

love_me_cody · 08-16-2007, 05:57 PM

I love to read anything and everything. I love , romantica, erotica, paranormal romance, romantic suspense, etc. (anything romance basically

)

some authors:
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Christine Feehan
Lora Leigh
Amanda Ashley
Kate Douglas
Laurell K. Hamilton
Angela Knight
Zane
Lisa Riley
Linda Howard
Niobia Bryant
Etc.

And my favorite ever is niobia bryant's Heavenly Match. It was the first book I read on my own and it only lasted 5 measly hours. I wanted more and there wasn't a prequel (it was part 2 of a series I learned later)
